UPDATE: I just realized that there are a few slightly *um* nude drawings present in this link. Nothing really explicit but I thought I’d throw up the warning. Parents please review first! Sorry about that.

These certainly aren’t going to pass as drawings but I thought I’d share them. These are some rough sketches I’m doing on my iphone to use later for reference for actual drawings. Mostly they’re just ideas for compositions.

Carl Barks is one of my favorite artists and storytellers. See how two different cartoonists adapted some of his rough sketches. One is better than the other. Can you tell which and more importantly why?

This is a bit of a detour from what I’ve been doing lately but I thought today I’d spend some time doing cartoon character studies. I’ve got two different blokes here. It’s interesting trying to achieve consistency between different expressions and perspectives.
